I was hoping to get some info for a relativity new shooter. I was at the range shooting my Kimber Ultra Carry ll. The problem I had was after filling my clip and adding clip to the gun I tried to release the slide lock to chamber the round and it locked up. This happened multiple times. I also tried to sling shot (I think this is the correct term?) the slide and it did the same thing. I have not shot the gun in a few months. I was shooting the Winchester FMJ in the white box. Is this something I should be worried about? Is it the ammo? This has me kinda worried. On a side note, I had some rounds in the clip I used while I carry and there was no issues on the one clip I used. Can anyone enlighten me on this issue.
